I had so much fun with these chairs, I picked them up at United Volunteers for 50 cents a piece! They were in pretty rough condition as shown below but the frames were still very sturdy. I screwed off the cushions and peeled off the old vinyl that was on them-yuck. The cushions were still usable so i just added a layer of thick quit batting to fluff them up bit in both the seat and back. Then I covered them in these playful fabrics using an electric staple gun. (The hand-held staple guns weren't quite string enough to get through the pressboard that the cushions sit on top of.) Then I hand painted a decorative leaf wreath and "relax" onto the back of each chair. Then it's as simple as screwing the cushions back on and you're good to go!

What a fun transformation! :)
